I'm making calls to an API and am receiving the following timeout error:
socket.timeout The read operation timed out
which traces back from
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1198, in getresponse
response.begin()
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 297, in begin
version, status, reason = self._read_status()
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 258, in _read_status
line = str(self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1), "iso-8859-1")
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/socket.py", line 576, in readinto
return self._sock.recv_into(b)
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/ssl.py", line 937, in recv_into
return self.read(nbytes, buffer)
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/ssl.py", line 799, in read
return self._sslobj.read(len, buffer)
File "/Users/someuser/anaconda/envs/python3/lib/python3.5/ssl.py", line 583, in read
v = self._sslobj.read(len, buffer)
socket.timeout The read operation timed out
How can I catch this error from the top of the traceback?

In Python, use the stdin. readline() and stdout. write() instead of input and print. Ensure that the input value to test cases is passed in the expected format.
From the client side, the “read timed out” error happens if the server is taking longer to respond and send information. This could be due to a slow internet connection, or the host could be offline.
The typical approach is to use select() to wait until data is available or until the timeout occurs. Only call recv() when data is actually available. To be safe, we also set the socket to non-blocking mode to guarantee that recv() will never block indefinitely.
Socket connection timeout High A new Python socket by default doesn't have a timeout. Its timeout defaults to None. Not setting the connection timeout parameter can result in blocking socket mode. In blocking mode, operations block until complete or the system returns an error.
This is a duplicate question, however the correct approach is to catch socket.timeout by using
import socket
try:
...
except socket.timeout:
...
The error states the exception that was thrown explicitly and you can rely on that. Even though the calling method is the ssl lib, the error seems to be related to the actual socket connection.
